Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3130750A1] A gas turbine (1) comprising a compressor (2), a combustor (4) downstream from the compressor (2) in a gas flow direction (8), and a turbine (6) downstream from the combustor (4) in the gas flow direction (8) is described herein. The turbine (6) comprises a rotating part and a stationary part arranged around the rotating part. The rotating part comprises a rotor (30) and a blade (55), the blade (55) comprises a fir tree (60) at a root end of the blade (55), the blade (55) is attached to the rotor (30) by the fir tree (60). The turbine (6) comprises a gap (65) between the rotating part and the stationary part, the gap (65) extending between the blade (55) and the stationary part (34, 54) in a substantially radial direction (9) relative to the rotation axis (32) of the rotating part, and the gas turbine (1) comprises a cooling path (50) configured and arranged to direct a cooling fluid (50) from the compressor (2) to the gap (65), wherein at least a part of the cooling path (50) extends in the stationary part (34, 54), and wherein a pre-swirl nozzle (52) is arranged adjacent to the gap (65) and within the cooling path (50) in the stationary part (34, 54). Embodiments of further relevant apparatus are also described, including a sealing fin (70, 77, 110) extending into the gap (65) along with associated methods.
